Know the goal in Match Three

Start Match Three by looking at the playing area and its controls. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.

One thing to notice as you play

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you need to achieve

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Start here and follow along

  1. Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
  2. Matched pieces disappear.
  3. Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
  4. Reach the target before running out of moves.

How your actions work

Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

Work through an example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Pay attention to this rule

A swap making no match is reverted. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
